Savage Messiah hails from London UK and features Lead Guitarist/Vocalist Dave Silver, Lead Guitarist Sy Taplin, Bassist Sasha Cron and Drummer Ernie Nogara. In October 2007 the band released their Andy Faulkner (Bolt Thrower, Siam) produced debut "Spitting Venom". The band opted to release this via their own imprint SMR productions, which was signed up for distribution by the mighty Plastic Head (Nuclear Blast, Metal Blade etc..). On release the CD won great praise from all over the world drawing comparisons with Testament, Arch Enemy, Judas Priest and Carcass among others. These comparisons vindicated the bands musical ideology of combining classic Thrash and Metal with modern and extreme sounds. This goal we feel sets us apart from our contemporaries and gives us a more unique and individual sound. We feel this open minded approach could path the way for longevity in a musical climate of highly disposable fashion oriented artists Spitting Venom was voted no.14 Top Metal album of 2007 by Chris Nagal for Listmania!
